I've forgotten if I have mentioned this or not before.

Is there going to be a 'Print Thread' button or something, where you can hit the button and the forum will churn up printer-friendly pages, black text, white background, no tables etc. etc.

Has this been discussed? If not, is there a spossibility of seeing this? Maybe in a future release?

I mentioned this once, but does anybody really ever use this option? It's like a stop watch function for all those smaller apps that people build into clock programs ... easy to add but just an extra function that nobody or very few use.

Handy for printing out lines of code, instructions on how to use a program, setting up links etc.

gonna be a pain here ... Smile

umm, but most threads don't have that ! sure a a thread here or there about a mod in progress ... but what do you do when a thread covers 3-4 pages depending on your settings in the profile. I change out from 25 per page to 50 ... hehe, to get the whole thread you might have to go higher.

it's a good idea, so don't get me wrong, I'm just wondering how many people use this option ... Angelic

A lot of forum systems do offer this function including VBulletin. Frankly, I am printing threads quite often and therefore believe it is a splendid idea.

I think this would be a great idea also.

It's not as easy anymore to just do a CTRL-A to copy and CTRL-P to paste a thread into a text editor.

I sure miss being able to do that as I reference threads in my FAQ. The ouput when highlighting to copy is much less compact than it used to be :(

Yep. It would extremly handy to be able to output a 'raw' copy of a message. As you mentioned; you could then save/print with ease.
